Description
Dewey's Ethical Thought by Jennifer Welchman provides a clear and engaging account of John Dewey's distinctive moral philosophy. This book traces the development of Dewey's ethics from its roots in idealism to his later pragmatist approach. Welchman demonstrates how Dewey's conviction that science and morals, facts and values, were reconcilable drove him to reject traditional ethics in favor of radical alternatives. She explores how this conviction evolved over time, influencing Dewey's conception of science and his instrumentalist accounts of moral value, conduct, and character. Through a detailed examination of Dewey's work, Welchman sheds new light on the development of his ethical thought, revealing the transformations that took place as he moved from idealism to pragmatism.
